Why we assess every dog

This is not about passing or failing

This is not about passing or failing.

It is about making sure the environment is the right fit for your dog, and for the dogs already in our care.

Most dogs settle well once they understand the structure and routine.

In some cases, we may recommend a different approach or additional support first, if we feel your dog would benefit from it.

This allows us to maintain a calm, safe, and well-balanced environment for every dog.

At the end of the day

A detailed update between 3pm and 4pm

By the end of the day, you will have a clear understanding of how your dog got on. You will receive:

Photos from their day
How they settled and progressed
How they interacted with other dogs and trainers
What we recommend next

You will know whether this is the right environment for your dog, and what the best next step looks like.

The goal is simple, a dog that is calm, confident, and easier to live with at home.

Many owners are surprised by how quickly their dog settles once they are in the right environment.
